What it is
Crispy, unbreaded pieces of fried fish, distinguished by a vibrant, fresh cilantro-lime garlic mojo. This dish highlights the natural flavor and texture of the fish with a zesty, low-carb sauce, making it an excellent keto option.
Key ingredients
Fish pieces (e.g., cod, kingfish, or mixed firm white fish), frying oil (e.g., avocado or coconut oil), salt, pepper. For the mojo: fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, a pinch of salt.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure fish is *not* breaded or floured. Request no sugar in the mojo. Served without starchy sides.
Watch out for
Breading or flour coating on the fish is the primary risk. Sugary sauces are possible, though less common with a traditional mojo. Fried in unhealthy oils could be a concern.
